FSU Campus Girl Scouts

Summer Hiatus

2011-04-19T11:48:00.000-07:00

This past semester has been rough for us at FSU CGS but we will be an official RSO once again very soon. For now it is almost finals week with summer break after that. 8) So don't procrastinate in studying good luck on all your exams and have a safe summer break. A new batch of CGSers in the fall will make the club the best that it can be.

It's a New Year!

Hey Everyone,

Another Fall semester is upon us. So our first meeting was a get to know you and get your ideas for what to do this year meeting. We got a ton of good ideas and now we are deciding when to put them into motion.

For those of you who want to join in all the fun look us up on Facebook under "FSU Campus Girl Scout."

I know this year is going to be fantastic. We can't wait for all of the festivities and we can't wait for you to join us.

Spring Semester has begun!

2010-02-04T09:02:00.000-08:00

Hey Everyone!

Spring semester with CGS is well under way! In January, we had two General Body Meetings with great turn out! We had fun doing some icebreakers and talked about how CGS members can get involved. Also, our Breathe Journey program kicked off a few weeks ago! It's first meeting was held at Faith Community Church and we had 4 girls, so it's going to be a tight-knit group! Last Wednesday, Breathe Journey came to FSU and talked to an engineer about this awesome new "green" house. The girls and all the CGS members who came really enjoyed it and learned a lot that day. This Saturday, Breathe Journey is going to Ochlocknee State Park for a funfilled day learning about the environment in the beautiful outdoors. Next weekend is the Run for the Cookies 5K and CGS members will be coming out very early to support all the runners. At the end of this month, our very own CGS will be holding a Statewide Conference for UNF CGS, FAMU CGS, and various other schools or students interested in starting CGS or learning more. It should be a fun weekend and our CGS eboard is already diligently planning for this awesome first ever event! In March, we have our annual Legislative Days coming up and we're in the planning stages of holding a College 101 Event for rising high school juniors and seniors to tell them the do's and don'ts about college and even shadowing an FSU student for a day! Then our last events in April will be planning a Daisy Tea Party and having a team at the Relay for Life. Our Relay for Life is still raising funds to be able to run at the event, so spread the word for support! And we're wrapping up the semester with a banquet before exams to celebrate what an awesome year we had. More updates throughout the semester so stay tuned :)

General Body Meeting 10/5- Minutes!

2009-10-12T12:14:00.000-07:00

Hey Everyone! Here's the rundown on what's been going on in CGS and what was discussed at the last meeting. Enjoy! :)

-First, everyone who attended the CGS Retreat and FIt's Inn Dance shared their experiences. General Consensus: We had a blast at the retreat getting to know members more, minus the banana spiders we encountered in the woods! We had 16 girls attend the Fit's Inn Dance and everyone agreed it was so much fun :)

-Our next Fit's Inn is coming up on Saturday October 17th, which is Field Day. It's from 12:00-2:00pm on Landis and we would love all the help we can get! Fit's Inn Field Day is all about getting the girls excited to be active and to stay healthy. I've heard that there's going to be water balloon fights and some kind of relay and Australian baseball! Also, any boys you know are very welcome to come to this event and volunteer to help out!

-On Friday October 23rd our Night of Mystery is coming up! It's a lock-in we are putting on for middle school and high school girls--we have 50 girls coming so we will need tons of help! The lock-in is based around a murder mystery theme where will be playing fun games, doing crafts, watching Clue, and doing other fun things. The lock-in will be held at the All Seasons Camp and we are meeting to carpool at 6pm by the Integration Statue. Eat dinner before you come to the lock-in!

-After the meeting, committees for Field Day and Night of Mystery met up to brainstorm. So far, we have wonderful things planned for both events!

-We've been interested in getting T-shirts made for CGS, but we definitely need some ideas...so if you are creative please email or FB Cassie, our VP or Lizzie, our president, if you have any ideas!

-CGS dues are $5. Please bring them ASAP! Also, we encourage everyone to register as a girl scout for insurance purposes, etc. Dues for that are $12 and there will be forms available at Field Day for anyone who has not yet registered.

-We are tabling at the Union on October 21 to try and recruit new members to our club. It's from 9:30-1 and we can use all the help we can get! If you happen to have a free half hour in that time period, please email me to sign up!

-On October 23rd which is also the same day as the Night of Mystery event, we are having a New Members Meeting at 5pm in Union 311D. So if you haven't made it out to a meeting yet and are interested in knowing more about CGS this is the meeting for you! Encourage friends and guys to come out! It will be only half an hour to recap what we've done so far, what our purpose is, and just to get everyone excited about CGS!

This conference will be taking place February 26-28, 2010 in Tallahassee, FL at the Girl Scout Camp for All Seasons! This conference was created to bring together Campus Girl Scouts from across the state, help new chapters form within our state, and help bring Campus Girl Scouts into Girl Scout Councils throughout our state.

At this conference, we plan to not only meet our fellow sisters in Girl Scouts, but also to Discover, Connect, and Take Action with Campus Girl Scouts in our schools, our state, and our nation.

We are a Registered Student Organization (RSO) at Florida State University and were established in Fall of 2008. We work as an organization to stand as role models for girls, provide opportunities and learning environments for girls, and give back to the Girl Scouting community. As an organization we work with Girl Scout Council of the Florida Panhandle to put together events for girls and to volunteer as needed in Girl Scouting Events. We also serve as a partner organization with Students for Real Beauty (another RSO at FSU) to help girls discover their true beauty and the individual beauty that everyone possess.

This past year we had a lot of fun planning an older girl lock-in at Camp for All Season, helping out at the Run for the Cookies, and volunteering, planning workshops, and throwing a party for the 2009 Girl Scout Legislative days.

We have a lot of plans for the upcoming year and we are very proud of our new officers who will help us along the way. These new officers include:

Lizzie Dement, President
Kara Engle, Executive VP
Kassie Edwards, VP of Events / Treasurer
Bridgette Cram, VP of Community Service
Nancy Singh, Secretary

We can't wait to get started this year and if you are a new member or interested in joining, check out our facebook at http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/group.php?gid=23105424683&ref=ts for updates on meetings, events, and membership.
